1

What is arteriomegaly?

vascular ectasia of arteries which may or may not be accompanied by aneurysms.

New cards
2

What can arteriomegaly lead to?

higher incidence rates of aneurysmal degeneration and even loss of the affected limb, especially if it's a peripheral aneurysm

New cards
3

What symptoms of arteriomegaly were noted in the patient?

presented with intermittent claudication in the left lower limb at a 100 m. Clinical examination revealed a pulsatile mass in the left groin with absent pulses in the left Popliteal and Pedal arteries. Radiology demonstrated a diffuse enlargement of the Abdominal Aorta with an infrarenal AAA, a L-CFA aneurysm, and a L-PFA aneurysm accompanied by occlusion of the L-SFA. Open surgical repair was achieved.

4

What was the treatment for the patient? (arteriomegaly)

Bypass surgical repair is feasible with positive outcomes, and it is prophylactic against the wide spectrum of dire consequences for patients.

New cards
5

What associated pathology was noted with histopathological analysis of the aneurysmal wall?

In the prior, there's no remarkable injury to the Myocytes, plus, there's a mere increase in the number of microfibrils, and degradation with friability in the elastic tissue of the arterial elastic layer [6], [26].

New cards
6

A measurement of ____ times the original diameter of a vessel indicates aneurysm.

7

What are risk factors for arteriomegaly?

different metabolic anomalies, connective tissue diseases, and fibromuscular dysplastic illnesses [6]. Moreover, documented risk factors relating to the development of Arteriomegaly involve Diabetes, Hypertension, Ischemic Heart Disease, and smoking [7].

New cards
8

What is the gender prevalence for aneurysms?

almost dominantly witnessed in males rather than females.

New cards
9

What is considered the gold standard for imaging of an aneurysm? why?

Elective surgical repair of asymptomatic FAAs of a diameter larger than 25 mm is the gold standard.
